There are four sorts of links in MediaWiki: 
# internal links to other pages in the wiki
# external links to websites
# [[#Interwiki links|interwiki links]] (links to other wikis)
# inter-language links to other language versions of the same wiki

To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already, it is displayed in blue, empty pages are displayed in red. Selflinks to the current page are not transformed in URLs but displayed in bold.

The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link will have a similar effect as typing a space, but is not recommended, since the underscore will also be shown in the text).

{{admin tip|tip=
Which protocols (like http:) are allowed for links is controlled by the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUrlProtocols $wgUrlProtocols]<!-- deliberate use of http url, these pages get exported. Should these admin tips even be here? This is supposed to be end user help is it not? --> setting. 
}}

{{admin tip|tip=
To remove the 'external link image' from next to each of the external links, add the following to the page located at <code>MediaWiki:Monobook.css</code> on your wiki.

<pre>
#bodyContent a.external,
#bodyContent a[href ^="gopher://"] {
        background: none;
        padding-right: 0;
}
</pre>
}}

== How to avoid auto-links ==

By default, when you write a URL as is, it will be transformed in an external link.

To avoid that effect, put the URL between &lt;nowiki&gt; start & end tags as in:

 &lt;nowiki&gt;<nowiki>http://mediawiki.org</nowiki>&lt;/nowiki&gt;


== Interwiki links ==
Interwiki links are links from the local wiki to another wiki. Which sites are available for linking in this way depend on your local configuration.

===How to link===
Interwiki links are formatted like so:

<pre>[[interwikisitename:page]]</pre> or
<pre>[[interwikisitename:page|display]]</pre>

===Examples===

*[[wikipedia:Main Page]]
*[[wikipedia:Main Page|Main Page at Wikipedia EN]]
